Les derniers spoilers d'Ausiello sur TVLine.http://tvline.com/2014/10/29/castle-ted-mcginley-season-7-episode-9-spoiler…Question: Please tell me Cary isn’t going back to jail on The Good Wife. I’m not a fan of prolonged prison storylines, even though I’m sure the Kings would no doubt find a way to make it compelling. —KimAusiello: I would tell you that Cary isn’t headed back to the pokey if I could. But I can’t. Partly because I don’t actually know, and also because the show is currently casting a role that leads me to believe a long jail sentence may indeed be in his future. The character is Tim, and he’s a “prison consultant” who is hired to give Cary a day-long session on how to survive in prison (including physical and psychological pointers). Tim’s an ex-convict so he would know.

The Good Wife may be hibernating this December, but that doesn't mean the series' casting scoop is snoozing as well.A fresh face will be joining the hit CBS drama in 2015, and he's sure to shake things up in Alicia's quest for State's Attorney.

Legendary actor Ed Asner, known for his roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Up, Lou Grant, and many more pop culture staples, has been tapped to join the smash series in an upcoming episode, ETonline exclusively reports.

The 85-year-old will play Guy Redmayne, a mega-donor to Democratic causes, who turns out to be, well for lack of a better word… disgusting. (This is quite a character leap considering Asner consistently graces our TV screens in the holiday season as Santa Clause on Elf!)

The exact date of Asner's Good Wife debut is to be determined, but we know one thing for sure: it's definitely an appearance that you don’t want to miss.

Is Jill Flint returning to The Good Wife later this season? Lana is so connected to the Bishop/Kalinda story arc. –Eve Although Flint at this time is not (yet?) scheduled for another visit, she recognizes that Lana could (should?) figure into Archie Panjabi’s exit storyline. “There are a lot of fans who hope that that would happen – which makes me happy,” she shared at TCA, where she was promoting Season 2 of NBC’s The Night Shift – the source of occasional scheduling conflicts. “For a couple of seasons, [[i]The Good Wife[/i] has] tried to give me an extensive arc with Archie, but unfortunately… we’re like ships in the night. We’ve never been able to fully realize it,” she noted. For her most recent, fall arc, “What they tried to do is take, like, eight episodes and cram it into three. So when Archie and I are together, we always try to infuse as much of the relationship as possible. Everything between the two characters is always between the lines.”

Gary Cole is heading back to The Good Wife for a springtime story arc, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Cole last appeared on the acclaimed CBS drama in November 2013, shortly after his character, Kurt McVeigh, tied the knot with Christine Baranski’s Diane Lockhart. How has that marriage withstood all the workplace drama Diane has weathered since? Find out when Cole puts in his first appearance in a March episode.

Fans of The Good Wife will have to wait until March 1 for a new episode. But here's a little casting scoop in the meantime: Oliver Platt, most recently seen as Stavros Milos on FX's Golden Globe-winning miniseries Fargo, has been tapped for a guest arc on the CBS drama.

He'll make his first appearance in an episode airing later in March. His character, R.D., is described as an intelligent, approachable, and politically conservative businessman who loves a civilized argument with a worthy opponent and has a passion for hunting.

Sounds like he'd probably get along well with Kurt McVeigh, Diane's husband. Is it a coincidence that Gary Cole is set to return in a March episode as well? We'll see.

Question: First and foremost, I love Matthew Goode on The Good Wife. But I also rather enjoyed him in Downton Abbey‘s Christmas special. Could you shed light on the potential of him being on one or both shows? —Jessica Ausiello: He will almost certainly be in the final season of Abbey. His future on The Good Wife beyond Season 6 is less certain, although exec producer Michelle King recently hinted to us that Goode might end up juggling the two. “There’s always a dance with scheduling,” she said, “so [we can always] dance around Downton Abbey.”

Question: Has it been confirmed that The Good Wife is ending at the conclusion of Season 7? —Jason Ausiello: The Kings always viewed Wife as a seven-season saga, but the ultimate decision isn’t up to them, as Robert King reminds us. “It’s a big question mark, because it’s a question that’s beyond us,” he says. “It’s… CBS.” He notes that viewers can probably sense that “we’re counting down” via the episode titles, but adds, “That doesn’t mean an end is an end.”

, titled appropriately “Old Issues,” is poised to feature that scene. Yep, barring any last-minute tweaks to the episode, “Kalicia” ‘shippers will get the face-to-face moment between Panjabi and Julianna Margulies for which they’ve been waiting nearly three years. And I hear it’ll be a crowd-pleaser — satisfying, heartbreaking, funny, etc. And just as important as the dialogue exchanged between the characters is the setting of the momentous scene.Back in March, Good Wife co-creator Robert King told TVLine that the decision to keep the two characters apart “is very much intentional to raise expectations,” adding that viewers should, “stay tuned.”

Morgan will play Alex, a “calm, experienced hourly investigator” whom Alicia (Julianna Margulies) hires in the show’s upcoming seventh season. “We’ve loved and admired Jeffrey Dean Morgan for years, and we were thrilled to hear that Julianna did too, so it was a no-brainer to ask him to join our troupe,” said executive producers Robert and Michelle King. Morgan is currently on another CBS series, Extant. He also recently starred in Texas Rising and Magic City. The casting follows a few major Good Wife departures over the last couple years, including Archie Panjabi’s Kalinda Sharma and Josh Charles’ Will Gardner, plus Matthew Goode’s Finn Polmar won’t return next season.
